[Q] Bluetooth GPS Dongle

---

Hey,
is it possible to get some dongle work with webos?

The touchpad has GPS. Just need a program that doesn't need internet to load the maps.

I believe you are mistaken, and the wifi version has no GPS.

I have a bluetooth GPS receiver that I used with my Viewsonic g tablet but that required an "blueGPS" app to get it to work. I imagine with Touchpad may also require a third app to get it to work. An app that is likely not available for the Touchpad.

Are their any app for the Touchpad that can use a GPS?

There are apps in the hp-market. But i can't make out if they
all are real gps or if they need wlan/inet too.
Most of them also cost money.

I think i also read somewhere about using extern gps with that app
called usbpassthrough. But that app looks like some handy app, because
it didn't start in fullmode.

Ah, my apologies, my information was based off of a chart I googled last Saturday after purchase. It did not differentiate between the wifi and 3g/4g versions. I guess I can cross searching for a new GPS app off my to do list...

LOL... yeah, no need for a GPS app.

I wonder if there is a way to get my bluetooth GPS receiver to work with the Touchpad. I got a confirmation e-mail about 3 or 4 days later from HP.com but it hasn't shipped so I'm not certain I will actually get one.

Anyone got some info on this, with GPS this table would be such a great product.

Well, if my Touchpad ever ships I'll test it with my BT GPS receiver and post the results. As of 2:17 pm today it is still listed as not shipped.

Mine should come in 1-3days but I just ordered a bluetooth gps that will take some time tho.
But if there isn't any apps for it theres no use.
